HAGG BEATEN BY PETE GUDAUSKAS LEADS BEARS TO WIN OVER STARS "Unknown" Guard Boots Field Goal for 24-21 Vic tory; 50,000 See Game. Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 21 (U.R) Arne Anderson, the . Swedish school teacher, added a victory In the 2,000 meters dis tance to his record of triumphs over Gunder Hagg today. Anderson defeated Hagg by five meters in the fast time of 8:12.0 yesterday. It was bat tle all the way, but the final time was slightly over the world record of 8:11.8 establish ed by Hagg on Aug. 28, 1042. Hang's time yesterday was 8:13.2. Chicago, Aug. 31 U.R) Pete Gudaskas was firmly established in the starting lineup of the world's champion Chicago Bears today as their start guard fol lowing his brilliant performance on a rain-soaked field at Dyche stadium, Evanston, last night, to defeat the 1944 College All-Stars, 24-21. He rode the bench as a third stringer lost year when the Bears smashed their way to the Na tional Football league champion ship, but earned his rating last night In a drenching rain dur ing the fourth quarter. Only 10 minutes remained in the final period of the 11th annual all star classic when the 27 year-old guard kicked a field goal from the six-yard line to give the Bears their fourth victory and ono tie in- five appearances In the series. Few fans had ever heard of Gudaskas, who was listed on the program as a graduate of Mur ray (Ky.) State Teachers, and a three-year college football play er, and very few of the 50,000 spectators cared until the fourth quarter. They had come to watch a passing duel between Ens. Sid Luckman of the Bears and Lt. Glenn Dobbs of the All-Stars. Dobbs Flashes The heralded match devel oped as Dobbs an All-American from Tulsa university proved his rating for the second straight year. He was the pass Ing star of the All-Stars' 27-7 rout of the Washington Redskins last year, ar.d he was the passing and kicking star of the Collegi ans near-victory last night. The Bears, definitely showing the nation's manpower shortage, were a sluggish team in the first quarter, when the tall Tulsan set them back on their own two yard line with an 85-yard quick kick that rolled dead. After Luckman had kicked out, Dobbs pitched to All-American TTnH .lnfin Vnnnlrn, Mitrj. iiuiue, io bui up me iirsi toucn down, and then again to another Notre Dame All-Amerlcan, Crclghton Miller, for the score. Indiana's Lou Saban converted. INTO SECOND BY SOX, 9-7 New York, Aug. 31 (U.R) A pitching collapse on all fronts during the past two weeks has produced such a record of medi ocrity by each of the so-called American league pennant con tenders, that not one of them to day could show better than a .500 pace for their last dozen games. The New York Vankees, who moved back into second place yesterday, and the Detroit Ti gers, each have won six of their last 12 games, but the league leading St. Louis Browns have token only three of their dozen I while the Boston Red Sox have ' won only five in 12. , Pitching has been at fault In! all instances, with starters be-1 lng driven out In the early in-1 nlngs and their relief men often no better. i The pitching was bad on all! counts again yesterday. Thel Yanks won 9 to 7 over the Red Sox at New York. An error by George McQuInn with two out in the eighth led to seven unearned runs and ai 12 to 7 victory over the Browns I at Cleveland. Detroit dropped an 8 to 3 game to the visiting Chicago White Sox. Emil (Dutch) Leonard pitched Washington to a 9 to 4 victory over the A's at Philadelphia. Jim Tobin won his 14th game at Boston, holding the New York Giants to five hits to -win 4 to 2. Chicago rallied late In both 1 games to win a double till from Pittsburgh, 12 to 5 and 6 to 3. The Brooklyn Dodgers pound- ed three Philadelphia pitchers .for 18 hits to provide Ben Chap man with an easy 10 to Z victory at Ebbets field. Cincinnati at St. Louis was postponed because of rain.
